Chapter 576: Clearing the Xianbei Grassland for the King (01)

558.

The persuasion was successful, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This kind of drama, three makes three resignations the best, but what I am most afraid of is to get rid of it.

Historically, there have been many people who have gotten away with this kind of persuasion. There is Zhou Gong Ji Dan in the distance, and there is Wang Mang, the usurper of the Han Dynasty, in the near distance.

Ji Dan, the Duke of Zhou, is the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou. After the collapse of King Wu, the Duke of Zhou assisted the young King Zhou Cheng.

At that time, whether in the army or in government affairs, Ji Dan's prestige was much stronger than that of King Zhou Cheng.

As a result, there were flattering people who persuaded Zhou Gong Ji Dan to advance, and persuaded Zhou Gong to become the king and replace him.

Who would have thought that the Duke of Zhou was loyal to the king of Zhou Cheng, and he did not say anything about persuasion, but instead sued the person who persuaded him to the king of Cheng. Then, the people who persuaded him were naturally finished, but Zhou Gong was also implicated.

At that time, King Zhou Cheng may have been thinking: What's the matter, Uncle Wang is really a threat if he stays around!

This is that the person who is persuaded has no intention of entering the position, but in the end, because of the drama of persuasion, everyone does not fall into the good position.

As for Wang Mang, there is a sentence that is very good: Wang Mang is humble and has not usurped the time.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang was a relative, and his ability was nothing to say.

Moreover, to put it mildly, Wang Mang in the early days was actually sincere in helping the Han.

When the power was in his hands, and the Han Empire at that time was indeed muddy and could not support the wall, Wang Mang gradually bred ambitions.

As a result, the drama of persuasion followed.

It is said that when Wang Mang had just sat on the throne of Da Sima, he was persuaded by the great Confucian Kong Guang.

It's just that although Wang Mang was ambitious, he still didn't dare to usurp the Han at that time.

After three persuasions, Wang Mang insisted on refusing to accept them, and then, no one persuaded them again.

After all, Zhou Gong Ji Dan's Yin Jian is not far away.

What if, Wang Mang is indeed loyal to the Han?

Therefore, after Wang Mang took power, although the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, no one persuaded him.

When Wang Mang was more ambitious and wanted to usurp the Han Dynasty, he looked around blankly, but he didn't see even one person who persuaded him.

Even if you are a flatterer, you don't dare to persuade you easily.

In the end, Wang Mang did not need to be persuaded by others, and directly usurped the Han Dynasty and became independent.

The result is obvious, Wang Mang's reputation for his hard-won business was ruined, and he was nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

This is the persuasion when you insist on not being accepted, and then you want to carry the position but no one persuades you to advance, and your reputation is ruined.

……

"Ministers, see His Royal Highness King Jin!"

In the lobby, after Hao Meng received the persuasion and prepared to ascend to the throne as the king of Jin, everyone bowed down to worship as soon as possible.

Yes, that's right, it's to bow down.

Although there is also a ritual of kneeling at this time, it is not commonly used.

Courtiers kneel to worship the Son of Heaven, generally when the Son of Heaven succeeds to the throne, or when the Son of Heaven worships the Heavens. Of course, at the annual Zhengdan court, the courtiers must kneel down and worship the Son of Heaven. Another point is that when the feudal officials and foreign ministers meet the Son of Heaven, they must also bow down.

In addition, the courtiers do not need to bow down again and again on weekdays, even if they go to the court.

This point seems to have continued until the Song Dynasty before it ended.

After the founding of the Zhao and Song dynasties, ministers would occasionally bow down when they went to court on weekdays, and then return to their respective seats to discuss state affairs with His Majesty the Emperor. Zhao Kuangyin was born as a ruffian, and he was a little unaccustomed to this phenomenon. Therefore, he ordered the chairs of the ministers to be removed, and also rewarded several ministers who took the lead in kneeling.

Next, Zhao Song's courtiers had to bow down every time they held a court, and there were no seats left.

……

"Zhongqing is flat." Hao Meng said with his hands on his hands.

Although he has not really sat on the throne, from this moment on, Hao Meng is no longer a general, but the king of Jin; His generals will also be his Hao Meng's real courtiers.

"Mi Zizhong." Everyone straightened up and sat back in their seats, Hao Meng said again.

"The minister is here." Mi Zhu is out of the queue and responds.

"Check out, when can the knighthood ceremony be held, do you have to sacrifice to heaven and earth?" Hao Meng commanded.

Mi Zhu thought for a while, pinched his fingers and calculated, and replied: "Your Majesty, on the second day of the second month of February, the dragon raises its head, which is a day of great luck. The king entered the king on the second day of the second month of February, and he could complement each other. ”

Does the dragon raise its head, doesn't it indicate that Hao Meng will soar into the sky?

"The king enters the king and the king, that is, the establishment of the country, not only to sacrifice to heaven and earth, but also to establish a temple and a society."

If the court is crowned the king, the procedure of sacrificing to heaven and earth can be avoided most of the time. There are only temples and shrines, which are what the king must build.

Jongmyo Temple, as the name suggests, is a place built by clans to worship ancestors.

The ancient system, the seven temples of the Son of Heaven, the five temples of the princes, the three temples of the doctor, and the common people are not allowed to set up temples.

The seven temples of the Son of Heaven do not mean that the Son of Heaven's family can only build seven temples. But in the temple of the Son of Heaven's family, only seven generations of ancestors can be posthumously sealed, and only seven generations of ancestors can be worshipped in the temple.

As for which seven ancestors to enshrine, it depends on what the ruling son of heaven thinks.

The five temples of the princes can only be posthumously sealed for five generations of ancestors. The three temples of the doctor can only be posthumously sealed for three generations of ancestors.

This was a system that existed in the pre-Qin period. When it was passed to the Han Dynasty, the princes and kings were the ones who sealed the five temples; Liehou was changed to three temples.

Yes, Hao Meng is now the king of Jin, and his temple must have five temples.

As for Sheji, it is the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Earth.

The Temple of Heaven represents the infinite sky and the sun, moon and stars in the sky, and the Temple of Earth represents the vast mountains and rivers.

……

Zongmiao and Sheji or something, Hao Meng actually doesn't know much, but there are people in this hall who understand.

"Father-in-law, Zongmiao and Sheji, as well as the heavenly sacrifice ceremony or something, there is Father-in-law Lao to worry about!" Hao Meng didn't agree with his father-in-law, so he directly threw this job to him.

Cai Yong blew his beard and stared at him, and when he was about to put aside his pick, in the back house of the former general's mansion, a maid took out a decree.

"The eldest princess of the Han Dynasty Wannian Princess Yizhi: Now the country is upside down, the society is declining, fortunately there is the hussar general Hao Mengkuang to help the world, and the hussar general Hao Meng is the king of Jin, Qin this!"

When the maid came in, everyone was surprised. But when the maid read out the contents of the edict, everyone was happy.

Hao Mengjin is the king of Jin, although his name is justified, he is still a little self-deceived. Now with the endorsement of the eldest princess, Hao Meng no longer has to worry about being unjustifiable.

It's double insurance!

"Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king!"

After Hao Meng accepted the decree, the ministers in the hall bowed again.

It was a bonus. No one thought that the eldest princess would actually endorse Hao Meng's entry into the knighthood.

It must be known that Hao Mengjin is the king, and he is basically hungry for the Han Dynasty. As the only descendant of the Han royal family, the eldest princess is not bad if she doesn't resent Hao Meng, how can she endorse Hao Meng?

Even Hao Meng didn't expect that the little princess would be willing to endorse his Jinjue.
